OPaL DC

First time home buyer who had a fantastic experience. Love my new condo, its modern design, and the willingness of this team to answer my questions along the way.

The team of professionals at Opal, led by Sean Ruppert, are expert at creating distinctive homes that enhance the character of neighborhoods and improve the quality of their clients lives! In our instance they build an architecturally beautiful four level (plus roof deck and lawn/patio) townhome along a row of hundred-year-old DC brownstones. The new building is stately, fun and an oasis of charm in a lively residential community. Their creative vision, and ability to bring it all to life, is remarkable! Ed and Carolyn G., Washington D.C.

Every single detail and angle was thought about. The folks at OPaL are truly design geniuses. It's rare to find something do up-to-date and elegant in DC. They were incredible to work with and really bent over backward to make sure everything is just as we want and need. This is not just a house, it's a home— filled with beauty and a perfect sigh of relief ahhhhhhhhh, just as you walk in the door. This neighborhood is darling and coming from New York, it's so lovely to have neighbors who care and look out for each other.

Sean and Jason at OpaL have been a pleasure to work with. Renting from them is like renting from a family member or close friend. They are extremely attentive and helpful and go out of their way to ensure you are satisfied and comfortable. Not to mention their design work is stunning. I highly recommend OPaL DC.

We partnered with OPaL to renovate the main level and patio of our townhouse in Georgetown. We couldn't be happier with the end product. We really wanted to be able to sit in the front living room and have clear view out the back of the house. We opened up the living room and staircase, tore down major walls, put in a whole new kitchen & wet bar, and even added a nana wall to the back of the house. Now we are able to enjoy our family room and our patio at the same time. We added an outdoor kitchen and a canopy to our master bedroom roofdeck. OPaL made the process really seamless and the quality and attention to detail they paid, far surpasses what we have seen from other builders. We are looking forward to using them again for our next project.

OPaL did a main level renovation for me, with the addition of an outdoor kitchen. We opened up the entire main level which included ripping down kitchen walls, opening up the stairs and adding a nana wall to the back of the house. This allowed us to have an open kitchen, dining and family room area, with full access to the new outdoor kitchen on the patio. The process was not only easy, the quality and end product exceeded our expectations. As we searched for new houses in the area, we have seen the level and quality most home builders put into their work and OPaL's quality and attention to detail was above and beyond the other work we have seen.

From the moment we met with the team at OPaL, we knew they were the right company for us - they quite simply "got" what we were trying to do. We had a detached garage that was falling apart that we wanted to replace with an indoor/outdoor space. We had the structure rebuilt and also redid the surrounding patio They were friendly and helpful every step of the way, from design, to demolition, to construction, and finishing it off. Where we had a vision, they made it a reality. Where we needed design inspiration, they stepped in. They were incredibly responsive in their communications and were truly a pleasure to work with.

My experience with the OPaL team was outstanding from start to finish. They adhere to the highest professional standards in the industry and build unique stylish homes with a focus on quality construction and well thought out design. Their approach to the sales side is friendly and welcoming without ever being pushy. We asked to see our home multiple times before moving forward with an offer and each time the OPaL representative graciously accommodated our request. The sales team was pro-active in answering our multiple questions about building materials and other construction fine points. On the build side, the team is first-rate and bends over backward to please the customer in way that is rare for the housing or really any business. The attention to detail and ensuring that the purchaser is fully informed about every nook and cranny of the home is impressive. Even post-purchase, OPaL stays engaged and is extremely responsive to requests to make adjustments and repair items that may have gone unnoticed in the final walk through. The company takes deep pride in their product and that shows in their customer service. We really couldn't be more pleased with our OpaL home, which is a tribute to the professionalism of the OpaL team, and look forward to enjoying it in the future as much as we do now.

Highly recommended the company, we have a great deal with the purchase of our the new home, the agent help us up to the end of the purchase. Great experience and happy for the outcome, very professional and clean in their offer with the due date and expected outcome. Thank you Sean

Opal totally transformed my old fashioned/outdated childhood home in Brookland, DC into a sleek, modern sanctuary. My project involved some redesign work and an interior gut remodel of the first and second levels, including the kitchen, two existing baths and one new bath, all systems (electric/HVAC/plumbing), hardwood floors and two exterior doors. The entire Opal team was very professional, knowledgeable, resourceful and an overall pleasure to work with. From the moment I met Sean and Jason, I knew I’d found the right team to assist me with my project. They gave me a sense of hope when I was teetering on hopelessness, having inherited my mom’s home that didn’t fit my lifestyle. They offered great initial ideas and even connected me with financing resources for my project. Ken totally held my hand through the process, which I needed, and his sage advice helped me prioritize my wants vs needs, while staying within my budget. Rick skillfully managed quality assurance to my satisfaction and kept everything on schedule, while sharing fun stories. Even several months after completion, the Opal team has remained responsive. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of my renovation; a new experience in my old home and my new friends at Opal. I highly recommend Opal!

The builder Peter did an amazing job on our town home. There was significant attention to detail and he was readily available to us when needed minor things tweaked after moving into home. I would be more than willing to allow him to build our next home. 5+ stars!!!!!

We are extremely please with the professionalism of Ken and his crew. No construction job goes without challenges. Still we vouch for the attention to detail, desire to do a good job and sense of beauty. Highly recommended.
